Susan Ungaro, who was editor in chief of Family Circle for 11 years, was among the most prominent names to get the ax.

Meredith Corp. shelled out $350 million for G+J's four women's magazines, Family Circle, Fitness, Parents and Child.

Then David Carr suggested in the Times that Florio had given up on the project. ???I would never sacrifice my integrity to write a book,??? Florio told Carr. ???Because of what was said and how it was taken, there will be no book.???
